Servomoore,
what else did you expect man, homosexually isn't something embraced by everyone at the moment.
There's never, ever a good reason for someone to behave unprofessionally with a client - and saying "fairly nasty things" seems to imply that that Servomoore was treated pretty badly. Sorry you had to go through that. Is it so hard to say "sorry, there's a conflict of interest, good luck on your search?" Sheesh.
I find this whole thread fairly surprising, actually. There were a ton of gay animators at my school - they outnumbered the straight guys in some of my classes. Even when I wasn't polling people on their sexual preferences, you can get a fairly decent survey by polling hand dominance: Gay males are a third more likely to be left-handed, and gay women are nearly twice more likely. We had a
lot of lefties - something like a third of our 200-person department was left-handed. Given the hand dominance skew, it was pretty likely that our gay population was something like 2-3 times the national average.
Plus there's disproportionate number of lefties in the arts and... well, by extension there are plenty of good reasons to believe the animation community would be homo-friendly. Quite simply a large number are drawn into the field. Wisconsin is not the most socially progressive place, however, so I think that had more to do with it than anything. If you tried to find someone in Massachusetts or LA, you almost certainly wouldn't run into this issue.
